Beyonce made a bold return to Instagram on Thursday night amid speculation that her weeks-long absence from the publicity circuit is somehow connected to Diddy.
The 32-time Grammy Award-winner, 42, offloaded a slew of glamour sH๏τs that show her rocking a beige cowboy hat and a busty suede frock.
Beyonce has seemingly ‘disappeared’ after releasing her new album Cowboy Carter this past March and she hasn’t attended a single red carpet event since the iHeart Radio Music Awards on April 1.
A wild conspiracy theory is suggesting that both Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z, 54, are ‘laying low’ amid their disgraced pal Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Sєxual abuse scandal, as per Page Six.
An insider further speculates that the couple are so ‘nervous’ about drawing attention to their Diddy ties that Beyonce is purposely neglecting Cowboy Carter promo.
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment.
Combs, 54, is currently facing eight lawsuits relating to allegations of rape, physical abuse, Sєx trafficking, racketeering and other serious crimes that span across 30 years.
The music mogul’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions were raided by Homeland Security agents in March as part of a Sєx-trafficking probe that may lead to a grand jury indictment.
In May, a horrifying video was released showing Combs violently ᴀssaulting his then-girlfriend Cᴀssie Ventura in a H๏τel hallway in 2016.
Cᴀssie, who was in a relationship with Combs for 10 years, accused him of rape and physical abuse in a bombshell November 2023 lawsuit that was settled one day later for $30million.
Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter was released on March 29 — three days after the Diddy raids — and it spent two consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 album chart.
With songs featuring Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, Beyonce also made history as the first Black woman to top the country album charts.
‘This was supposed to be Beyoncé’s time, with her much-anticipated country album out [just] two months ago,’ Page Six’s source said.
‘And yet, she is nowhere to be seen. The album is slipping and Jay and B aren’t reveling in the spotlight.’
The insider then brought up Jay-Z’s controversial 2024 Grammys speech, where he called out the Recording Academy for never awarding his wife Album Of The Year despite her being the most decorated female artist.
‘About a month before the [March 29] release, Jay-Z got up at the Grammys and whined that Beyoncé had never won Album of the Year,’ they said.
‘But now what? Does he think she will win . . . for Cowboy Carter with no promotion . . . no appearances and no wooing of the academy?’
They noted that although Cowboy Carter had a successful release, the album is ‘definitely not the juggernaut everyone thought it would be.’
The insider believes that Beyonce has seemingly abandoned ship because ‘something is going on’ behind-the-scenes.
‘Something is going on. It came out with a bang. No. 1 everywhere. [Now] it and she have disappeared,’ the insider concluded.
Jay-Z’s friendship with Combs dates back to the early 1990s as they both navigated their early rap careers in New York.
They’ve collaborated on a number of songs, including a track on Combs’ debut 1997 studio album No Way Out.
